Chapter 225: Chapter 154: You’re So Beautiful, I Really Like It Here (Two in One)_2

The words spoken at the table are highly exaggerated.

He glanced at the few merfolk by the table, who were all Ling Yu’s friends, mostly at the Horror Nine Stars level.

If he could handle these merfolk, he was sure to win the wager this time.

Thinking of this, he immediately slammed the table.

"Service... Kaka, bring me ten rounds of Dragon Orchid Wine!"

Kaka is the term used for a waiter.

Hearing Qin Shou’s loud command, the merfolk around the table looked shocked.

"Zhi Yin, little sis, this Dragon Orchid Wine is pretty pricey. If you get drunk, we’ll take you home, so don’t talk nonsense," Chou Zhong tried to persuade.

Just as he finished speaking, Qin Shou exhaled a bubble filled with Earth Core Energy Crystals.

Bubbles were the merfolk’s "Storage Space."

"Don’t worry, Ling Yu, big sis. Everyone’s in high spirits today. I’ve got this!" Qin Shou declared generously.

Ling Yu, hearing this, suddenly remembered that Qin Shou came from the royal family and lacked absolutely nothing.

"Zhi Yin, little sis, how could we accept this..." she began, trying to be polite.

But before she could finish, the merfolk around the table erupted into cheers, with Chou Zhong being the most excited.

"Haha, Zhi Yin, little sis, you’re so straightforward! From today onwards, if anyone dares to bully you, just let us brothers know. We’ll definitely get justice for you!"

"That’s right! Zhi Yin is our little sis; we must take care of her... cough, cough... properly pamper her..."

Qin Shou smiled obediently but sighed inwardly.

Having money really does make anything possible.

Exchanging just a thousand Earth Core Energy Crystals could easily secure him a year and a half of training time at the Energy Pool.

No, if calculated based on the distribution from hunting down merfolk, it’d be far more than a year and a half.

Soon, ten rounds of Dragon Orchid Wine were brought to the table, and sea fish swarmed above Qin Shou’s table, turning them into the center of attention.

Qin Shou covered his face, thinking the only thing missing now was a DJ to spice up the atmosphere.

What have you all learned over the years?

...

Hours later, the drunk Ling Yu and the other merfolk staggered out of the "bar," supporting each other as they climbed atop the sea beast.

Qin Shou, rubbing his head, quickly followed them.

That momentary indulgence nearly caused him to forget his priorities.

"Ugh..."

Moments later, the sea beast landed at Ling Yu’s luxurious estate.

"Huff... huff..."

By then, everyone had already fallen sound asleep.

Qin Shou kicked them off the sea beast, which instinctively departed from the area.

Looking at the giant shell, Qin Shou scratched his head.

How do you even open this thing?

Forget it; I’ll just stay here.

Glancing around, Qin Shou made sure there were no merfolk nearby and casually tossed everyone into the System Space.

Of course, he left out Ling Yu, as he still needed her to bait the fish!

The captured merfolk were placed in a waterless space.

In an environment devoid of water, the energy within merfolk’s bodies would rapidly diminish until fully depleted.

Even Nightmare Level merfolk couldn’t last more than a few days.

After cleaning up the "crime scene," Qin Shou collapsed onto Ling Yu and fell into a deep sleep.

From now on, I know nothing.

...

Half an hour later, above the "estate district," a group of merfolk soldiers clad in armor swam in grand formation.

At the front of the merfolk soldiers, atop a golden-armored sea beast, a cold female voice suddenly sounded.

"Stop!"

The merfolk soldiers halted, and the merfolk general stepped forward, making an odd gesture with both hands.

"City Lord, what’s the matter?"

On the sea beast’s back, the female mermaid, whose appearance was eerily similar to a human, wore a crown while faint light glimmered off the red-gold scales on her fishtail.

She held a Red Gold Trident and pointed downward toward Qin Shou.

"Go, bring that royal merfolk with you." A flicker of something peculiar glimmered in her eyes.

Noticing the water algae skirt slipping off Qin Shou’s waist, the merfolk general was startled.

"City Lord, why would a royal merfolk be here...?"

"No need for explanations; bring her here."

"Yes, City Lord."

Pillow pressed against Ling Yu’s belly, Qin Shou noticed someone approaching and instinctively opened his eyes.

A gold-armored merfolk suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Holy crap, who are you...?"

"Don’t panic, little merfolk. The City Lord requests your presence," the merfolk general gestured upward and bowed.

"City Lord?"

Qin Shou squinted, calculating that since she was the City Lord, she was at a minimum Nightmare Level.

He glanced down at the fallen algae skirt, wondering if she fancied him.

This is bad; I’m going to be taken by force.

...

An opulent golden hall.

The long table was laden with exotic seafood Qin Shou had never seen before.

Across from him, the female mermaid wearing a delicate crown exuded a noble aura, a sly smile playing at her lips as she watched Qin Shou serenely.

"Zhi Yin, little sis, please enjoy!" she said with a smile.

Qin Shou randomly grabbed a piece of meat and began chatting while eating.

"City Lord, big sis, I feel like I’ve seen you somewhere before."

The City Lord smiled in surprise, "Oh, Zhi Yin, little sis, where have you seen me before?"

Swallowing the meat, Qin Shou suddenly grinned. "In my dreams."

The City Lord paused momentarily, then burst into laughter.

"Haha, Zhi Yin, little sis, you really have a sweet tongue. I wonder which royal palace you sneaked out from?"

Qin Shou shook his head. "I can’t say; otherwise, the City Lord, big sis, might chase me away."

"Haha, Zhi Yin, little sis, do you want to stay here?"

"Yes, yes! It’s so beautiful here, and you’re so gorgeous and kind. I absolutely love it here!"

Disguised as a mermaid, Qin Shou’s attempts at acting cute were as convincing as Zhi Yin’s.

Of course, doing so made him feel a little gross internally.

But if he could please the top brass, he could do as he pleased here.

Because he noticed the female mermaid didn’t have any hostile intentions toward him.

In fact, he felt her gaze seemed... unusual.

Much like how male merfolk looked at him.

Within the merfolk tribe, female mermaids who were attracted to both genders weren’t uncommon.

It seems I’ll have to leverage my charm.

Meanwhile, the City Lord was quite satisfied with Qin Shou’s replies and secretly delighted.

"Since Zhi Yin, little sis, loves it here so much, this place will be your home from now on. Stay as long as you like."

"Really?"

"Of course."

"That’s amazing! City Lord, big sis, you’re so nice."

"Haha, Zhi Yin, little sis, don’t choke yourself; eat slowly..."

While the two were chatting merrily, the merfolk general suddenly hurried to the City Lord’s side and saluted before reporting.

"City Lord, the human who can transform into a merfolk has appeared again, killing several of our soldiers and escaping."

The female mermaid City Lord snapped coldly, "Hmph, daring to show up again? This time, I will personally take action—they won’t escape!"

Turning to Qin Shou with a quick smile, she said, "Zhi Yin, little sis, I need to handle some matters first. I’ll be back soon."

Qin Shou responded nonchalantly, "Mm-hmm, City Lord, big sis, don’t take too long."

"I won’t."

With that, the female mermaid City Lord vanished from the hall in a flash, leaving only the merfolk soldiers standing guard outside.

Wiping his mouth, Qin Shou seemed deep in thought.

The human transforming into a merfolk—wasn’t that Liu Wushuang?

How did she manage to mimic merfolk while also simulating the merfolk’s energy signature?

Since the Beast God Main City was newly established, Liu Wushuang, at Diamond Four Stars, was assigned to the freshman class, whereas her brother Liu Yifeng, at Vajra Five-star, directly advanced to the sophomore class.

The siblings were both among the wager combatants.

Afterward, Qin Shou calmly put on his earpiece and pressed play.

"Brother, Qin Shou joined the wager combat too. We need to figure out a way..."

Qin Shou shook his head, skipping that portion.

"Shuang’er, your face looks off. Are you feeling unwell?"

"Brother, my Aunt came..."

Qin Shou: "..."

Skip.

"Brother, look—an annoyingly smug hammerhead shark..."

Skip.

"Shuang’er, look at what I have."

"Wow, brother, you knew I was hungry! This giant clam must taste amazing."

"Shuang’er, I wanted you to see the large pearl inside..."

Skip.

"Shuang’er, take this. It’s merfolk fish oil. Use it when mimicking merfolk, and they definitely won’t detect you."

Qin Shou rubbed his chin. So they had already prepared merfolk fish oil—that explains why they chose the wager location to be in the Merfolk Sea Region.

With Liu Wushuang’s assistance, Beast God Main City had high chances of winning this time.

Perhaps due to overconfidence, their activities had attracted the attention of this merfolk City Lord.

The merfolk general reporting earlier was at least Nightmare Level—let alone the much stronger female mermaid City Lord.

Amitabha, best of luck to you all.

Qin Shou silently "prayed" for them.

Soon, activity was heard outside the palace, but the expected return of the City Lord didn’t materialize. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

"We greet the three princesses..."

The guards at the door saluted in unison.

Qin Shou froze—Princesses?

Three of them?

Are they about to stage a court intrigue?!
